  1. David Hendrie, Senior Program Associate, CCSSO, D.C. Marc Shelton, Professor, George Fox University, Oregon J James McLeskey, Professor, University of Florida, CEEDAR Competencies and standards for Principal Preparation

  2. Session Goals Gain understanding of national standards and competencies for principals Gain feedback on CCSSO principal competencies Gain understanding of issues in educational leadership reform

  3. “Schools that function inclusively do so for a reason…the principals in these schools were the reason” (Salisbury, 2006, p. 79) Principals and Effective Inclusive Schools

  4. Why? Defining Inclusion In effective inclusive schools—students with disabilities belong to the school community and are accepted by others; they actively participate in the academic and social community of the school; and they are given supports that offer them the opportunity to succeed.

  5. Why? Research on Principal’s Role Principals in effective inclusive schools have core values that reflect this definition of inclusion.

  6. Why? Research on Principal’s Role Part 2 Principals made sure their core values are reflected in the shared vision of the school.

  7. Why? Research on Principal’s Role Part 3 Principals were “adamant and uncompromising” about core values For principals, “inclusion was a non-negotiable founded in civil rights”

  8. Why? Research on Principal’s Role Part 4 Dispositions reflected in core values and a shared vision provide a good start But…more is needed What do principals do to support effective inclusive schools? How is this different from what all principals do?

  9. Principal Competencies Central Questions Which aspects of PSEL 2015 are particularly important to inform principal practice that supports the success of students with disabilities? Which key competencies—knowledge, skills, values, and dispositions—are associated with these aspects of PSEL 2015?

  11. Principal Competencies Deep Dive Leadership Knowledge and Understanding Leadership Skills Leadership Values and Dispositions

  12. Competencies Guiding Questions Which areas and ideas need (a) further clarification (language), (b) better support, (c) further elaboration and explanation, etc.? What is missing or needs to be emphasized in greater detail to meet the needs of your specific competency area? Are there other existing resources that should be referenced and/or directly incorporate?

  13. Professional Standards for Educational Leaders • Competencies within PSEL 2015 • Administrator Preparation Programs: How do we incorporate the PSEL refresh into existing courses for curriculum redesign? • Or do we just need to develop new courses? • http://www.ccsso.org/Documents/2015/ProfessionalStandardsforEducationalLeaders2015forNPBEAFINAL.pdf
